It'd be quite useful if one could take advantage of Reader view as in Firefox for all feeds that do not provide the full content into their RSS feed. This would provide a more uniform reading experiences in Thunderbird as a feed reader. ... View more

Right now, activities window is more like a leftover of the old firefox download window, a relic from the past. Let's change this for a more useful tab. I was thinking about a "sync status center" where you can check in a table the status of: column1: all mail accounts: one account per line column2: all other sync statuses (calendars/tasks/caldav, ical, contacts/carddav, IM, etc.) with on each, last successful sync date/time and sync status (failed:red/syncing:blue/OK:green), and maybe a button to force sync a specific account maybe something like this (crude edited screenshot): ...

Hello Team, I have been waiting for many months and years to be able to save emails (single and a whole folder) as a PDF file. Could you please implement this functionality in a timely manner? Other freeware tools and commercial programmes have this for a long time and Thunderbird has really fallen behind here, especially as add-ons that could do this have been switched off with your latest release. Thanks and greetings, Thomas ... View more

Please add a feature that would automatically reset the taskbar icon "new messages count" after reading all new messages. The only way to presently reset this count is selecting another category such as "Sent" or "Junk" emails. ... View more

When you import a personal GPG key into Thunderbird (as of version 115.0.1, likely since the removal of Enigmail in version 78), that personal key is decrypted, and then re-encrypted using a random password that is stored in Thunderbird's password manager. If you don't set a Primary Password for Thunderbird's password manager, that "key encryption password" is stored unencrypted, and thus your personal GPG key is effectively also stored on disk unencrypted (source): How is my personal key protected? At the time you import your personal key into Thunderbird, we unlock it, and protect it with a different password, that is automatically (randomly) created. The same automatic password will be used for all OpenPGP secret keys managed by Thunderbird. You should use the Thunderbird feature to set a Primary Password. Without a Primary Password, your OpenPGP keys in your profile directory are unprotected. (Emphasis mine.) I find that behavior non-obvious and dangerous: When I imported my GPG key into Thunderbird, I had to enter the key's password, and so thought I'd have to enter it again to use the key (just like with GPG), but imagine my surprise when my key could be used without any password. I did not expect that Thunderbird would do something as dangerous as just storing my key unencrypted, without even informing me. I have since set a Primary Password for Thunderbird's password manager, but it would be great if the need for setting a Primary Password could be emphasized (or even enforced) when importing a personal GPG key. ...

Having a confirm-before-quit option would be very helpful.  Other applications have already adopted this some time ago; particularly, on MacOS, it's easy to fat-finger CMD+Q vs CMD+W (close window).  Would it make sense to implement this (somewhat simple) feature?     ... View more

Would be nice if Thunderbird has the option to activate and deactivate a notification icon, so you could see a change (may be a number) for unread messages, that is if you missed a notification The icon is to be at the toolbar of the desktop, so even you could close thunderbird, but it continues working at background and just could open with a click on the icon thank you   ...

As a Gmail account holder in Thunderbird, I was stunned to see Thunderbird inserts my signature at the bottom of the reply...below all messages which came before.  It would be far more helpful to have my signature always appear just below my current message and above any replied to message.  Gmail settings on the web offer this as a setting... " Insert signature before quoted text in replies and remove the "--" line that precedes it. " ... View more

  Spark mail already has this feature for years and it looks beautiful. Please add this to Thunderbird to show logo's in the inbox on the left of each email. It would absolutely make the app stunning and organized. One glance and you can find the email you want or need based on the logo or picture.   edit: added picture ... View more

What I am suggesting, seeking, is:  Thunderbird should disallow add-ons that can neither be disabled or removed by the user. Background: Bitdefender, a well known antivirus vendor, has decided that I need their "anti-spam toolbar", whether I want it or not.  They installed it into my Thunderbird installation without my knowledge.  The toolbar adds no functionality that I need or want, that isn't already provided by Thunderbird itself. The worst part of it is: the user cannot disable or remove their toolbar via Thunderbird's add-ons manager.  If I disable the toolbar in Thunderbird's add-ons manager, it's automatically reactivated by closing and restarting Thunderbird.  When I contacted Bitdefender's support they indicated that this was intentional -- i.e., preventing the user from disabling or removing their toolbar.   ...

Currently, Thunderbird does not have any capability of viewing the decrypted message source or to save a decrypted copy of a PGP or S/MIME encrypted message. I'd like to request the addition of both capabilities. * "View source as plaintext" is needed because HTML E-Mails aren't rendered, so it's sometimes necessary to grep stuff out of the HTML source code of the encrypted message. * "Save as plaintext" is necessary to allow reporting of abuse/phishing, to add a message to other systems (DMS, CRM, ...), as well as in case of legal actions to allow providing a copy of messages as evidence (ok technically a print is often also enough, but not always) WITHOUT also having to disclose the private key every time. From a security perspective, adding such a feature is not much different than forwarding the mail (except that forwarding loses all the headers and such). But it would greatly improve usability. A workaround is to export the private key from Thunderbird and either share it every time a message should be saved as eml (the worst option, but currently has the best usability...) or export the key from Thunderbird and waste hours decrypting it using OpenSSL and then attaching/saving the message to something else (very very poor usability, but doesn't require sharing the private key...) ...

A great addition for 115 Supernova would be better formatting control when typing an email.  A big plus would be to add a format painter tool like the Microsoft programs provide.  Also instead of just providing enlarge and reduce arrows for font size, the ability to select a font size would be good too. ...

Thunderbird can act not only as a mail client, but also calendar, address book, tasks app and more, which gives new productivity opportunities – for example, you can very easily convert an e-mail into a task or event. One of the things Thunderbird currently lacks, however, is support for sub-tasks/hierarchical to-do. Let me show you this amazing feature on an example (using Nextcloud Tasks): On Bugzilla, this feature was requested 21 years ago: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=194863 There are no good desktop apps supporting caldav and sub-tasks that I'm aware of, and the only such app for Android is Tasks.org. In addition, it seems Thunderbird already supports necessary attribute: https://github.com/Betterbird/thunderbird-patches/issues/79#issuecomment-1465267112 ... View more

In calendar views, we have 1 week, multiple weeks, 1 month. When we are at the end of the week/month, it's not easy to anticipate incoming days/weeks. I suggest to be able to choose X rolling days/weeks from today/this week (eg: 7 rolling days --> Saturday, July 15th to Friday, July 22nd). ... View more

When events are spanning over multiple days, the calendar shows them as individual entries for each day. This makes it harder to see at a glance when that event is starting and ending if other events are present in the same range. Many other calendars show them as a single, connected entry and I only see advantages of this. ... View more

The ‘Address Book’ tab shows a) ‘All Address Books’, which merges together b) ‘Personal Address Book’ and c) ‘Collected Addresses’. This seems wrong to me. I like the idea of keeping b) and c) separate. I can’t see why a) is there at all. Why would anyone want to see a list combining b) and c)? This list could be much longer and harder to search by eye. Surely it is easier to filter what we see by looking at b) or c) separately? Can future updates to Thunderbird 115 provide a clickable option to turn off "All Address Books" so that it is not visible leaving only b) and c) visible? ... View more
